That's for sure! I actually liked Martin Freeman more than I thought I would as a young Bilbo Baggins. The part towards the end when Thorin hugged him was very emotional. I was so happy for Mr. Baggins!

When the dwarves meet the elves for the first time and Thorin whispers to Dwalin, and the part where Thorin has a tough time giving his map to Elrond to review, I could sense the lack of trust between the races. I felt as though it were important for Jackson to stress that and he did a fantasticvjob overall.

I appreciate the heads up. I'll keep an elf eye out for my items then.

Thanks! The atmosphere was a bit quiet hanging with the folks in the new place, but it was nice.
